3 bed detached house for sale

Hackford Road, Wicklewood NR18

Gilson Bailey are delighted to present this truly stunning and rarely available detached residence, set back from the road on approximately 0.75 of an acre in the charming and sought-after village of Wicklewood, part of which incorporates a former working, brick-built Norfolk Corn Mill dating back to the 1820s. This remarkable home combines rich period character with modern comforts, offering a unique lifestyle opportunity in a setting of peace and tranquillity. The well-planned accommodation begins with an entrance porch and convenient WC, leading to a dining room ideal for entertaining, and a characterful lounge with a wood burner situated at the very base of the historic windmill. A separate family room, with an open fireplace – offers the flexibility of a second lounge, while the heart of the home is the breathtaking extended kitchen/diner, filled with natural light from its pitched roof skylight and boasting integrated appliances. Further ground-floor highlights include a utility room, breakfast room, and a versatile study which could easily serve as an additional bedroom. On the first floor, three spacious bedrooms each enjoy the luxury of their own en-suite bathroom, with bedroom one set within the windmill itself, featuring a charming staircase that rises to the top-floor dressing room/playroom – offering multiple potential uses. Outside, an impressive driveway sweeps up to the property, opening into stunning, immaculately maintained gardens that are a joy to behold, with expansive lawns, a variety of mature fruit trees, and glorious field views providing a true sense of escape. A large patio seating area offers the perfect setting for al fresco dining or relaxed summer evenings, while the property also benefits from a garage, double glazing throughout, oil-fired heating, and immaculate presentation inside and out. This exceptional home is a rare find, and internal viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the charm, quality, and individuality it offers
